You know, when this discussion started, I looked at the pictures and thought to myself, "What if that isn't hoops on the outside but a tiered skirt with banding at the hem of each tier?" In that case, might not a servant be wearing a fashion similar to the upper class folks, but without the added luxury of the hoops? Perhaps a castoff dress from her mistress? -Helena _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
